Trust in the Lord with all your heart

Be strong and courageous....For the Lord your God is with you wherever you go

This is the day the Lord has made; let us rejoice and be glad in it

Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord

Welcome

This site is about words.
First, about God’s authoritative, inspired Word.
Second, about my non-authoritative, non-inspired words—nevertheless, written in hope that they will encourage those who read them, and above all that they will point the reader to God’s Word.

Here are the regular features you will find here.

Today’s Walk in the Word. A brief devotional that appears Monday through Friday. Each entry is based on a single verse of Scripture, followed by my comments related to it, and ending with a summary aphorism. To access the latest devotional click on “Today’s Walk in the Word” in the sidebar to the right. To access previous messages click on “Archives/A Walk in the Word” in the top menu.

On My Mind. Messages on varied topics that appear on this site at least once a month. To access the latest entry click on “On My Mind” in the sidebar to the right. To access previous messages click on “Archives/On My Mind” in the top menu.

And yes, you are permitted—in fact, encouraged—to pass along any of these messages to those you feel will benefit from them. Just click on the “Forward to a Friend” button. Your participation in this way makes this “our” ministry instead of “my” ministry.

If you find anything here that brings you, or those with whom you share these messages, into a closer relationship with the Lord, I praise God and thank him for permitting our paths to cross.
